Hanoi (VNA) - A
memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Phuc Yen
College of Industry and the Flamingo Group with the aim of enhancing
the quality of human resources in the tourism industry.

The signing ceremony took
place in the northern province of Vinh Phuc on December 9.

Accordingly, the students
will learn hospitality and tourism theory at the college and gain practical
experience at resorts and restaurants owned by the Flamingo Group.

Nguyen Tien Tung, principal
of the college, said the work force of the national tourism industry still
lacks professional skills and foreign language-speaking ability.

“The co-operation between
our college and the Flamingo Group will help improve the quality of training,
equip the students with specialised knowledge and give them the chance to
practice in a professional working environment.”

Pham Ngo Thuy Ninh, vice
chief of the Training Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, highly
appreciated the co-operation between the college and the enterprise.

“Due to the rapid
development of the tourism industry, it’s necessary to increase the quantity
and quality of human resources,” she said.

“There are 35 universities
and colleges under the Ministry of Industry and Trade. They also collaborate
with enterprises to give students the chance to practice. However, this is the
first time an enterprise co-operates tightly with a college in developing
textbooks, selecting lecturers and organising field trips for students.”-VNA
